They no doubt have a plan. Pence is not an imbecile; he no doubt knew that one day people would learn he did the same thing he roasted Hillary for.
So he prepared. I am curious to see what.


At the moment it seems to be deleting all the tweets gloating about the investigations. Particularly the ones going "no one is above the law".

I wonder if Pence's tweets count as public records...

Let's be thankful they didn't directly accuse Clinton of something horrible like mass murder or child molestation because of Trump's Law.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Thanks Gauth, I can't unimagine that...

But as for Pence, I find myself unsurprised that he had a private email server. After all, I keep getting the feeling that the swamp isn't being drained.

Hello.

I just came to say sorry for my offensive posts.

My brother got on my computer and made some very nasty posts.

Sorry for any offense they caused.

Wait, so what was he doing with this private server? The problem with Hillary was that she was using it to keep government secrets. What was Pence doing with his?

he was governor of Indiana.

governors have no state secrets like the secretary of state of the united states does.

it is embarrassing, perhaps, when his email gets hacked and his personal or political secrets revealed but they hurt only him, not the country.

I thought governors were the CinCs of their state national guard until it gets federalised? Wouldn't some of the information they'd need for that fall under national security?

There's no such thing as a "hack proof" server. But Pence may have been required to use a state email account.
